WARNING: EPILEPSY AND SEIZURES

READ BEFORE OPERATING YOUR CONNECTV

A few people may experience epileptic seizures when viewing flashing lights or pat-

terns in our daily environment. These persons may experience seizures while watching

TV pictures or playing video games. Players who have not had any seizures may

nonetheless have an undetected epileptic condition.

Consult your physician before playing video games if you have an epileptic condition

or experience any of the following symptoms while playing video games: altered

vision, eye or muscle twitching, other involuntary movements, loss of awareness of

your surroundings, mental confusion and/or convulsions.

WARNING:

Make sure that you stand far enough away from the TV and any other objects or

people to avoid striking anything or anyone when you are using your ConnecTV

Snowboarder.

WARNING:

When using ConnecTV Snowboarder, DO NOT jump on the board. There is a

danger of breaking the board and serious injury to the player.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

Do not attempt to “grab” Snowboarder while riding it. Rubber soled shoes are

best to wear when riding to avoid slipping off Snowboarder.

Get ready to experience the extreme sport of snowboarding—any time, any season!

Ultra-realistic board action takes you through four different events—Free Ride, Slalom,

Half Pipe and Big Air—and helps you pull off awesome tricks and grabs in mid-air.

SETTING UP CONNECTV SNOWBOARDER

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REPLACEMENT

Loosen the screw on the bottom of the Power unit battery compartment door with a

screwdriver. Remove the battery compartment door and insert four (4) AA batteries (we

recommend alkaline) as indicated inside the compartment. Replace the battery com-

partment door and tighten the screw with a screwdriver. Do not over tighten.

Adult supervision is recommended when installing batteries.

CONNECTING CONNECTV SNOWBOARDER TO YOUR

TV OR VCR

Connecting to your TV

To connect ConnecTV Snowboarder directly to a TV, the TV must be equipped with

audio and video input jacks. They are commonly found on the front of the TV near the

contrast, colour and picture adjustment controls; or on the back of the TV near the

antennae and cable/satellite jacks.

Insert the yellow video plug from the game into the Video-In (yellow) jack on the TV.

Insert the white audio plug from the game into the left Audio-In (white) jack on the TV.

Set your TV to the appropriate video input mode. (See your TV’s operating manual for

details.)

Connecting to your VCR

If your TV doesn’t have audio and video input jacks, you can connect ConnecTV

Snowboarder to your VCR.

Insert the yellow video plug from the game into the Video-In (yellow) jack on the VCR.

Insert the white audio plug from the game into the left Audio-In (white) jack on the

VCR.

Set your TV and VCR to the appropriate video input mode. (See your TV and VCR

operating manuals for details.)

Connecting to TV without A/V inputs

If your TV does not have audio and video

input jacks you need to purchase a RF

MODULATOR to convert the A/V output

from the game to the Antenna/Cable input

on your TV.

This can be purchased at most electronic

product retailers.

Adult supervision is recommended

when connecting cables to a TV and

VCR.

Setting Up the “Feet”

On the bottom of the Snowboarder “base” you will find “feet” that are removable. Turn

the feet clockwise to remove and turn them over. Reinsert the feet, turning them

counter clockwise until they "click" into place. The flat “feet” with rubber padding are

used for hard floors and the peg “feet” are used for carpeting.

game selections and guide your rider through a series of courses, tricks and grabs.

You’ll begin each course from a stopped position between two poles. Tilt your board

Forward to start down the hill.

To speed up, tilt your board Forward. To slow down, tilt your board Back.

To move to the right, tilt your board to the Right. To move to the left, tilt your board to

the Left.

If you hit an obstacle, or fail to successfully land a jump, you’ll crash.

HINT: To land a jump, tilt your board back as you hit the ground to successfully land a

jump and avoid crashing.

BASIC GAME PLAY

At the beginning of each race, you’ll have a chance to select a new course, skill level,

rider and stance.

Press the On•Off button to turn the game on and stand on the board.

After a brief title screen, you’ll see the Main Menu screen.

COURSES

There are four courses to choose from (as well as Quick Start option): Free Ride,

Slalom, Half-Pipe and Big Air. If you choose Quick Start, you will ride as Ethan in the

default mode (Free Ride, Novice Level, Regular Foot Stance).

To toggle between courses, tilt your board to the Right and to the Left.

When you have selected a course, tilt your board Back.

FREE RIDE

Free Ride is an untimed event. You’ll be judged on

style and the number of tricks you successfully

complete. You must complete each trick without

crashing, to receive a score. There are three differ-

ent free-riding courses to conquer: Novice,

Advanced and Expert.

SLALOM

Slalom is a timed event with three skill levels:

Novice, Advanced and Expert. You must ride

through a series of gates to get the fastest time.

Your goal is to finish the course in the least amount

of time.

You must pass through each gate to get credit for

it.

If you miss a gate, five seconds will be added to

your final time as a penalty.

HALF-PIPE

Half-Pipe is an all-out competition for points. You’ll

ride down the course to gain speed, and blast up

the half-pipes to gain massive air. Once you’re in

the air, you must try to complete a trick before land-

ing. The faster you go, the higher you’ll jump.

To gain points, you must land each trick successful-

ly.

BIG AIR

In Big Air, you’ll launch your board from edge of two

cliffs. Once you’re in the air, you’ll need to pull off

as many tricks as you can before you land. You

must land the trick successfully in order to collect

points.

The faster you go, the higher you’ll jump.

SKILL LEVEL

There are three skill levels: Novice (green circle), Advanced (blue square) and Expert

(black diamond).

To toggle between skill levels, tilt your board to the Right and to the Left.

When you have selected a skill level, tilt your board Back.

RIDERS

You have four riders to choose from: Ethan, Blake, Quinn or Ardra. Each rider has a

different level of speed, turning and agility (ability to successfully land a trick).

TRICKS

Once you’re in the air, you can pull off a variety of tricks.

Once a trick is completed, you will earn less points if the trick is pulled off again.

There are a variety of tricks to complete for a higher score.

When you complete a combination (completing more than one trick during a jump),

your score will be determined by adding the combined score of the tricks, and multi-

plying that score by the number of completed tricks in the combination.

TRICK DESCRIPTIONS

SCORING

The first time you successfully land a trick, you’ll receive the full score. Each following

time a trick is pulled off, your score is reduced incrementally.

A combination (completing more than one trick during a jump) is rewarded by adding

the combined score of the tricks, and multiplying that score by the number of complet-

ed tricks in the combination:

For Example: Stalefish + Melancholy + Tail Grab = (300 + 300 + 200) x 3 = 2400

points

“!” FLAG

Avoid these—if you run into them, you’ll crash.

GATES

A gate is made up of two poles. You must pass through the gate to avoid a penalty. If

you pass outside the gate, you will receive a time penalty.

JUMPS

Hitting a jump will launch your board into the air. Once you’re in the air, you can per-

form a trick. Remember to tilt your board to the Back as you land to avoid crashing.

POWERBALLS

A Powerball is a purple ball that appears on the course. Running over a Powerball will

give you a temporary 6-second boost of speed.

If you run over a second Powerball during those six seconds, you’ll get an additional

boost of speed and the six seconds will start over again.

You can run over three consecutive Powerballs to reach the maximum speed.
